    1. We think that PanTadeusz, his epic poem, is his most important and famous book.

    2. He was part of the Romanticism movement.

    3. He was a literature teacher in France.

    4. He had to go into exile in Russia after 1824. After that, he was travelling around Europe and he finally settled down in France.

    5. He was a political activist, fighting for Polish independence. So, for such a reason, in 1824 he was forced to abandon Poland.

    Hope our answers are right!

  2. And this is the result of our unscarmble task:

    Pan Tadeusz


    Litwo! Ojczyzno moja! ty jesteś jak zdrowie:
    Ile cię trzeba cenić, ten tylko się dowie,
    Kto cię stracił. Dziś piękność twą w całej ozdobie
    Widzę i opisuję, bo tęsknię po tobie.
    Panno święta, co Jasnej bronisz Częstochowy
    I w Ostrej świecisz Bramie! Ty, co gród zamkowy
    Nowogródzki ochraniasz z jego wiernym ludem!
